You may need to obtain many different kinds of information about your network and its operations. This information ranges from the version numbers of the software modules you are running to complete statistical summaries of events that are taking place on a specific link. The tools and commands that are available to help you obtain the various types of information are summarized in Table 1-1 "Tools for Obtaining Network Information". Once you have determined which command or tool you need to use, you can refer to the detailed information about that tool in a later chapter of this manual.
